PMG multi-asset funds
We believe in the importance of asset allocation and the key role that multi-asset
managed funds could provide as an investment solution for many investors.
At Prudential we have an established team of in-house experts, the Portfolio Management Group (PMG), who are entrusted with the day-to-day asset allocation decisions for over £125 billion (December 2009) of investors' money.
